I’ve used AirTags for years. Google’s new Pixel Tag needs these 4 things to succeed

There’s one tiny piece of tech that has rescued me from my own forgetfulness more times than I’d like to admit. It has stopped me from leaving important things behind and, dare I say it (please forgive me, Mom), helped me recover my car keys after I had completely lost track of them. That little lifesaver is an AirTag , and it might be the best $30 I’ve ever spent.

Naturally, that means my AirTags have found their way onto almost everything I care about: my car keys, work bag, car, and even the folder containing my important documents. There’s just one frustrating catch. My primary phone is a Pixel 10 Pro , which means I need to carry an iPhone just to use my trusty AirTags.
